Indeed, I lied to him, fooled him, and distanced myself from him. His family was the reason I had to lie in bed for six whole years while being separated from my children. Couldn’t I avenge myself?
I merely wanted him to side with our family for once even though he had lost his memory.
Tamping down my irritation, I flashed a smile while shaking my head. “No. We’re married, and you’re my closest partner. Why would I lie to you?”
Ashton held my hand tightly. “That’s right. Let’s go home. Audrey must be missing me by now.”
I joked, “John has been with her all the while, so clearly she can survive without you.”
As I said that, I tried to get up by pulling on his hand. Suddenly, Ashton’s expression turned grim and yanked his hand away.
I heard him snorted above me before he stalked away angrily.
I pressed my lips in frustration seeing how unpredictable his temper was.
It was Joseph who helped me out of the car.
“Mr. Fuller has forgotten about a lot of things. That’s why he feels uneasy and keeps losing his temper. Don’t take it to heart.”
Suddenly, it hit me that Joseph had spent a lot of time with Ashton, hence he should know the latter well.
Coming to a stop, I asked, “Does your boss really not remember anything?”
Joseph knew I was suspecting him and hurriedly clarified, “No, he doesn’t. Ms. Sto…” He paused and hurriedly corrected himself. “No, Mrs. Fuller. I’ve explained everything to him for the last two days. Nothing out of the ordinary happened.”
After John moved in, Joseph realized I was merely pretending to have lost my memories. He started treating me respectfully like he used to do in the past. It didn’t seem like he was lying to me.
Clearly, I couldn’t get anything else from him.
Sighing, I stepped into the house and cursed silently, Sly fox!
